Seismic Design – Appropriate Implementation of the Overstrength Omega o Factor (12:30pm – 2pm Eastern)
This SE University session, presented by Emily Guglielmo, SE, of Martin/Martin, Inc., focused on wind provisions of ASCE 7 that are frequently misunderstood or incorrectly applied, including building enclosure classification, torsional wind design, and wind load analysis methods. It also highlighted areas where the code does not offer guidance on frequently encountered situations, including solar/PV and canopy wind loads. The information presented in this session focused on ASCE 7-10, and addressed the future of wind design.
Session Length: 1.5 Hours
